Ultimate Fakebook was a 3-piece power pop band from Manhattan, KS. The band, known for its energetic live shows and well-crafted guitar-based pop tunes, toured the world and released three full-length albums -- Electric Kissing Parties (1997 - Noisome Records), This Will Be Laughing Week (1999 - Noisome Records, 2000 - 550 Music/Epic Records), and Open up and Say Awesome (2002 -Initial Records). Shortly after releasing their EP Before We Spark (2003 - Initial Records), they broke up.

On Dec. 30th, 2008, Ultimate Fakebook played a small reunion show for a friend's birthday at the RecordBar in Kansas City MO. Then on Thursday, Feb. 5th 2009, Ultimate Fakebook reunited again, this time for a much larger "official" reunion show at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. This was also a benefit for the JayDoc free clinic, where licensed volunteer physicians supervise University of Kansas School of Medicine students who provide care to the area?s under-served populations. The clinic operates on a volunteer basis,with supplies and medicines purchased through grants and donations.

On December 18th, 19th, and 20th of 2009 the band opened for former touring mates and friends Motion City Soundtrack at Lincoln Hall in Chicago, IL.
